Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are small-sized dogs that belong to the hound family, specifically the sight hounds. Though small and compact, they have long bodies and short legs, which give them their distinctive shape. Dachshunds have an elegant profile when seen in profile--their back is straight, their chest is deep, and their legs are short. Dachshunds are often categorized according to their size. The smallest size, known as 'toy size', is between six and nine inches tall at the withers.
Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic. While they may produce fewer allergens than some other breeds, they are still capable of causing allergic reactions in people who are sensitive to dog fur, dander, and saliva. While some people may be able to tolerate dachshunds more than other breeds, this is highly individual and cannot be predicted. It's important for potential dachshund owners to understand that owning a dachshund does come with a potential for allergy issues.
Yes, Dachshunds have special dietary needs. As small breed dogs, Dachshunds require a diet lower in fat and calories than larger breeds. They can also be prone to certain dietary sensitivities and intolerances, so it's important to monitor their diet carefully. Their metabolisms are also generally faster than those of larger dogs, so it is best to feed them 3 smaller meals throughout the day rather than 1 large one. It's important to provide a balanced diet containing all the necessary vitamins and minerals, as Dachshunds can be prone to certain deficiencies.
Yes, Dachshunds have some special requirements, the most important being proper toileting and socialization. Like any other dog, they need regular exercise, a healthy diet and plenty of mental stimulation to maintain their physical and mental well-being. In addition to this, Dachshunds are particularly prone to back problems due to their unusual body shape, so owners should be attentive to their dog's activities and choose appropriate activities and toys accordingly.
The size of a Dachshund puppy will depend primarily on the genetic makeup of both the parents, and the variance in this breed can be quite pronounced. Typically, they will grow to be anywhere between 8 and 12 inches high (at the shoulder) and 10 to 11 pounds when fully grown. However, some may grow larger or smaller than this. As a rule of thumb, Dachshund puppies should reach full maturity a year after they are born. However, it is always a good idea to consult a veterinarian if you have any questions about your puppy's specific size.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds do not have a strong affinity for swimming and may not enjoy their time in the water. Generally, they prefer to remain on dry land and don't take kindly to being submerged in water. Some Dachshunds may be fond of swimming, but it is generally not a behavior that can be expected from the breed as a whole. It is important to remember that Dachshunds do not have webbed toes like breeds specifically bred for water activities.
Generally, Dachshunds are a friendly breed and are often great with kids. They love company and are known to be very loyal and devoted to their family. When properly socialized, they can learn to get on with children and develop strong bonds over time. Dachshunds should be taught to observe good behavior, such as not jumping or nipping, to minimize any safety risks. As always, it is a good idea to establish a positive relationship between your pup and children that are old enough to understand how to handle and treat animals with care.
Dachshunds are often thought to be one of the smartest breeds of dog. Many of them are known for their strong problem-solving skills, their independent nature, and their eagerness to learn new tasks. They are also quite loyal and are known to form strong bonds with their owners. Additionally, Dachshunds excel in agility and obedience trials and respond well to training. They are often referred to as great working dogs and can learn multiple commands with proper instruction.
